Trinidad Rover

Believe by our standards we spent 'decent' money on Tavares. So far proving to be what most expected, crap. This will not go down well with our resident dictators. Expect Gestede is fuming and currently thinking up an excuse/blaming the Telegraph and fans for being mean.

That crowd, or lack of, speaks volumes. Truly sad.

Completely out of his depth. End of.

If De Neve is the answer, what on earth is the question.

We are going down. Woeful.

Exactly where we should be in the league. We’re not very good unfortunately. Big concerns about Ismael only growing now. His results record is woeful for us. He can’t set a team up to defend and when he gets that right, we are dire going forward. Bought himself all the time in the world with his project/transition nonsense. Rudy wouldn’t dare do anything as it reflects worse on him. Cantwell looks better this year though. And Alebeiosu looks good. Rest pants.

Credit where it’s due, Albeiosu is a very good signing

Bleak all round so far. Seeing Ewood so empty is incredibly sad.

Perhaps not, but a proactive club would try? Or do we just hold our hands up and do nothing? Dont ask, dont get.

Does anyone have any confidence that the club (without a CEO…) will put forward a stronger case than Ipswich for the result to stand. Ipswich will likely already have got a lawyer involved and a strong argument put together. Match will be replayed.

I hope this leads to a more progressive and capable coach coming in. The U21s have been poor this season and majority of last. With the investment Category 1 requires, it needs a top coach.

Great work @wilsdenrover - thanks for all the efforts tracking the chaos and updating us all on this.

Pathways = Gueye moves on for Tyjon. Saving money and creating these so called pathways are objective 1 and 2.

No way Dawson comes under the current wage 'structure'. So either: 1. they break it 2. it doesn't happen Think we all know what the outcome is

Interesting post on LinkedIn from Gregg Broughton. I imagine he is looking at this situation with a great degree of vindication. In hindsight, he did a good job not just on transfers but also contract renewals. The key difference to Gestede, he didn't seem to be an arrogant, ego driven piece of work (note his praise for others). Rather someone who genuinely had good intentions and wanted the best for the club. Likely why he was shown the door. Sad.

Seems to be a lot more attention and pic up of the shambles in the media/socials this morning. Not that it will make a difference but somewhat good to see the outside world recognising what is happening at Rovers.

Lost for words this evening. Thought we had seen it all. Not any of the new lads fault, but we are down this season. That squad is frightening. This time I do not think we come back - who would have thought the days under TM would be as good as it got. Just numb.

There aren’t enough people in the stadium to create any atmosphere. Which is just how they want it. We had 30,000 on less than a year ago against Burnley, riding a wave of optimism. And now look. Truly, truly sad.

What have Rovers fans done to deserve this. Heartbreaking.

This thread will get fired up pretty soon after this window!! Sheff Wed, Rovers and???

Kapaudi wont get ESC?

SURELY selling Hyam is a step too far. Surely.

They wont sign another CM having got 3 in (Forshaw, Baradji, Tavares) As many have said, despite that we are chronically short there in both quality and experience. Tavares looks very poor from what we have seen, granted he missed most of pre season. Will define our season.

but, but the pathways!!!!!

Prediction: In: none ('we tried') Out: Batty, Pears, Leonard Overall: 5/10 window. We are not stronger than before it started and are desperately light on Championship experience. Some interesting signings but we are in for a tough, tough season
